    Description

    The year is 1860, and every Victorian era gentleman and lady was not considered dressed properly without having a match safe in their pocket or purse.
    Beautiful condition match safe with a tight hinge spring, and beautiful engraved markings and an uninitialized shield on the side. Underneath the tight snapping closed lid are hallmarks for BIRMINGHAM, SILVER, AND THE DATE YEAR OF 1860. The base of the safe is cut to provide a striking surface for lighting a match.
    Measures 1-1/2 inches (39mm) tall, 1 inch (26mm) wide, and ½ inch (9mm) thick. The unit weighs approximately ½ ounce.
    Nice addition to a collection, and history to hold in your hands.
